Chapter 159: Break Your Dog's Legs
The other people of the Feng family were quite embarrassed if they had a request, but just now Uncle Feng scolded Feng Yuchen, so that he has no face to stay now, let alone come forward to plead.
"Dare to bare your teeth and see if I don't break your dog's legs." Tong Dafa chased after him with a wooden stick, so frightened that Uncle Feng turned around and ran, that old age, staggering, running is very interesting.
When the other members of the Feng family saw this scene, they all sighed and followed Uncle Feng back to the village.
Brother Fu Lin stood at the door and watched them disappear as soon as they slipped away, laughing, is this Uncle Tong still looking at the gate twice!
Today's matter, no one can stop Uncle Feng, after all, his surname is Feng, but Tong Dafa is different, he is the in-laws of the Feng family, that is an ordinary generation, it is nothing to fight and make trouble.
Early the next morning, Feng Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu left home, and Tong Dafa looked at his daughter riding a high-headed horse, majestic, and suddenly felt a different feeling in his heart.
At the gate, everyone sent them away, Tong Xiaowu looked at the two strong men at the door, and asked: "Take care of my father, don't let him leave Shanshui Village, and don't let him get involved in any gambling, you know?" ”
"Yes, ma'am, don't worry!" The two nodded and agreed, there is no work, just look at the gate and this old man Tong, one or two silver a month, how can he not be dedicated, and besides, Tong Dafa is shriveled and wants to deal with him, easy.
"Hmm!"
Tong Xiaowu and Feng Yuchen quickly left Shanshui Village and went to the Baili Town Rural Cooperative.
After three days at home, it's time for her to see how things are going.
The first stubble of cotton, according to the agreement, the cotton threads were almost spun, and the two people who secretly sold the spinning wheel and loom also found out, and directly twisted it to the county yamen, lost the silver, and were punished.
Because of this incident, all the people in the ten villages who had modified the looms and spinning wheels did not dare to think about anything else, even if the other cloth owners paid a high price, they did not dare to sell the modified equipment anymore.
I heard that in the end, Sun Hong begged his cousin-in-law, and then delivered the goods to the door in person, so that the backlog of cotton in his hand was sold at a low price.
He had accumulated savings for many years, but this time he lost them all, not to mention, and owed a lot of money to his son-in-law.
With this incident, many people have come to a lesson, that is, it is easy not to do business, and you must be at ease in business, otherwise losing money is a trivial matter, and never turning over is a big thing.
Mr. Chen accompanied Feng Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu to collect cotton thread in various villages, and cotton was a low account per year, but the wages of cotton thread were not, and they were settled in cash.
Many people in the village saw that people had made money by modifying spinning wheels and looms, and they all wanted to participate in the modification themselves, but Tong Xiaowu hadn't calculated the time cost yet, so he could only temporarily refuse them.
And those farmers who doubted Tong Xiaowu and didn't stand on her side at the beginning regretted that their intestines were green, how much money would they have to earn if they worked for a year?
Look at this cotton thread, just spinning for seven or eight days, I settled the account once, and I earned a lot, just the salary is more than 300 yuan, and the less is 200 yuan, how much is this year? And that's not even counting the loom earnings.
The cotton thread was taken back uniformly, and the slurry dyeing was carried out directly in the rented yard of Baili Town, and the materials for pulp dyeing were not enough, so Tong Xiaowu asked people to go to the county seat to buy comfrey roots, pink tassels, blue grass, etc., who knew that the county's medicinal materials rose sharply, but fortunately, she was only used for pulp dyeing materials, and the amount was not very large.
After dyeing, it is dried, and after it is dried, it is all sorted according to color, and then transported to various villages, where the fabric is spun.
The fabric is different in each village, and the price will be different according to the complexity of the finished product.
For example, the fabric of the rhombic pattern is slower and more troublesome to spin, and the natural wage is more, while the fabric of the water ripple is simpler than the rhombic pattern, and the wage is less.
Even so, the price of producing this kind of cloth is much higher than that of coarse cloth, and the wages of coarse cloth have dropped a lot this year, from 14 wen per 1 meter per textile before, but now it has fallen to 10 wen 1 meter.
And the production of a hundred miles of cloth, a meter of cloth is at least 20 Wen, although the fabric pattern is complex, a lot slower, but there is always a month of one or two silver income, the overall income is still a lot higher.
After half a month of busyness, except for Zhangjia Village, all ten villages were busy with production in an orderly manner.
After preliminary calculations, at the end of the month, the cloth village in Linyue County will be able to open, and other foreign fabrics, Tong Xiaowu has already discussed with the shopkeeper Li of Qingfeng Cloth Village, take a batch from him first, such as silk and silk yarn, give him some price difference, and wait for her to find the source of goods and then order another.
A store must have a hundred flowers and complete fabrics to attract more customers.
Before, Tong Xiaowu invited a female gentleman to her second sister Tong Manyue, and taught her to read and settle accounts while teaching two children.
The past ten days have passed, this Tong Manyue is not as fast as the girl Yuqing, although Zhang Zhiming works in her, but there are two patients in the family, and the cost is large, Tong Xiaowu is still waiting for someone to be employed, so she wants to help her open a workshop according to the agreement.
That afternoon, Tong Xiaowu made Feng Yuchen's special crochet needle, and she invited Tong Manyue to come over and prepare to teach her the craft of the workshop.
She took the special cotton thread from Zhangjiacun, wrapped it into a ball, and slowly taught her to crochet the flowers, "Here you have to wrap a few stitches, and then thread it from here, the first circle is eight needles, the second circle is twenty-four needles, and each hole has three needles."
Tong Xiaowu looked at Tong Manyue, who was studying seriously, and asked:
"Second sister, have you remembered?"
The reason why she makes the cotton thread woven in Zhangjiacun is thicker than ordinary is this reason, she wants to use this kind of thread instead of wool, there is no wool here, and there is no such thing as crochet, and the crochet she is making now is something that is not available in this world.
And she made the thread of Zhangjiacun spinning much thinner than wool, because it is thinner than wool, so the flowers outlined are softer and more delicate.
Tong Manyue looked at the sister in front of him in surprise, "Little sister, you ...... How do you know this? I've never seen this before. ”
Tong Xiaowu laughed: "It's easy to sell if you haven't seen it, second sister, do you understand?" ”
"I'll try ......" Tong Manyue reached out and took the crochet needle, and while hooking, she frowned and asked, "What can this thing do?" Just a flower? Are you sure you want me to start a workshop to produce this? ”
"Sure, second sister, don't be surprised, let you do it, I will give you money, you study hard, one day, I will hand over all the patterns to you, you organize people to produce, each worker produces one, you buy one, make the difference in the middle, I will give you money."
